Hey, Currently i hav my monitor resolution set on 85hz as 60hz is too low and gets annoying after a while, and ive started to notice like faint horizontal lines running across the screen. Mainly noticable on the task bar. Ive enabled and disabled V-Sync but it didnt seem to do anythin? Any ideas wat mite be goin on? Note: this only happens at 70hz and higher. -------------------- Asus P4P800S mb P4 2.4Ghz (800Mhz) 1Gb DDR 400Mhz Ram Geforce FX 5600 128mb

That's becuase your monitor shouldn't be on 85hz all the time. Just keep it at 70 or 80hz. And try using the magnetic/ static build up setting on your monitor. <--- hope you know what I mean, I can't explain it, it's a setting for de-magnetising your monitor. Just won't notice nearly any difference in putting your monitor down to 70hz. GeForce FX5200 128Mb AMD Barton 2800 Asus A7N8X E-Deluxe AERO 7 LITE CPU fan 512 DDRAM PC2700

Ive put it back to 70hz and i reckon its not as smooth or easy to look at. If im gonna be on the comp for liek 3hrs i reckon this would give me headaches... Wat do other ppl hav the refresh rates as? And why would my monitor not support 80hz its relatively new 19" AOC flat screen, ive heard ppl hav theres on 100hz (could be wrong) -------------------- Asus P4P800S mb P4 2.4Ghz (800Mhz) 1Gb DDR 400Mhz Ram Geforce FX 5600 128mb

You have an LCD screen? Why didn't you say so. What are you using your PC for, games? Becuase LCD screens at the moment aren't good gaming monitors unless you pay A LOT. If it's giving you headaches turn the refresh rate down, There's no other help out there but to turn the hz's down to about 70hz. On an LCD screen you may notice some difference but I don't know. I wouldn't have thought so. GeForce FX5200 128Mb AMD Barton 2800 Asus A7N8X E-Deluxe AERO 7 LITE CPU fan 512 DDRAM PC2700

I dont hav an LCD screen? when did i say that? "relatively new 19" AOC flat screen" Ive put it back to 70hz and it seems to be ok, just wanted to know wat other ppl run the monitors at? -------------------- Asus P4P800S mb P4 2.4Ghz (800Mhz) 1Gb DDR 400Mhz Ram Geforce FX 5600 128mb

"AOC flat screen" ~ FLAT screen NOT LCD - Theres a difference you know, Stu.B -Avarik nomoresnsleft3 - AIM

Just turn on VSYNC if you don't want tearing, I run games at 75hz on a 15inch LCD and my games run great, very little tearing and no blurring even with Quake 3 Arena running at 200fps to 450fps New LCD's coming out know with 8ms, wish people will stop slagging of LCD's, they have come a very long way in such a very short time ________________________ MSI KT8 NEO Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.0ghz 1.0 GB DDR PC3200 2X 160 GB HDD Hightech Excalibur Radeon 9800 Pro Iceq 128mb ( Core 425 MHz and Memory 380 MHz )
